[Tagging] surface=pebbles -> surface=pebblestone ?

[John F. Eldredge]

Speaking as an American, I would refer to that as a mix of cobbles and setts (some of the stones in the photo look rounded, some squared, and some irregular). They appear ti be about the size of a human palm. I think of pebbles as rocks of finger-diameter or less, such as the pea gravel often used on the surface of concrete driveways, for ornamental reasons.
